The Cate School girls water polo lost out on a playoff spot after losing 4-3 at Oaks Christian on Wednesday.
The Rams held a 3-2 lead until the host team tied the game with 43 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
Caroline Montgomery, Maddie Schrager and Chloe King scored Cate’s goals.
Goalie Lela Puckett had an amazing match and recorded 18 saves. Many of her blocks were against point-blank shots, and the senior captain was instrumental in keeping the game close throughout.
Unfortunately, Oaks Christian found its way past Puckett in the second overtime period and ended Cate’s season.
“[We] will be back next year with many familiar faces, and will look to improve on this year and get back in the playoffs,” head coach Nathan Alldredge said.
